"Yes." Qin Shi smiled.
At this moment, the two's heartstrings rippled. Although their hearts were in turmoil, neither of them stretched out their hands to take the demonic talismans. After all, they knew the value of a five-rune demonic talisman. Not to mention the northern region, even the supreme forces of the entire empire would go crazy for it.
"Young friend, you gave us four demonic talismans. I'm afraid you have other requests, right?" Zhu Shanzhi was a man after all, and he was more mature than Huo Caidie.
Qin Shi smiled and nodded. He did not hide anything as he said, "Senior is indeed a smart person. This junior does indeed have something to ask of the two of you."
When Huo Caidie saw this from the side, she couldn't help but reveal a bit of curiosity. She really couldn't understand why Qin Shi, who had dozens of Cryptic Spirit Realm experts and several Heaven Realm experts, would need the help of two people who were about to be buried.
"Haha, these four demonic talismans are indeed not that easy to obtain."
Zhu Shanzhi bitterly smiled and exchanged a glance with Huo Caidie. He received acknowledgment from the latter's eyes. "Young friend, speak. What do you need our help with?"
"Actually, it's nothing much. I'm sure you two seniors know about the current situation between the Burning Sky Sect and my Qin Sect. One mountain cannot hold two tigers. When I return, I will definitely start an all-out war with the Burning Sky Sect. I hope that you two seniors can clearly see the current situation and stand on the right side. Don't regret it." Qin Shi said straightforwardly.
Stunned, Qin Shi's reply surprised the two elders. "Young friend, do you mean that you want us to rely on the Qin Sect?"
Shrugging, Qin Shi tacitly agreed.
The two elders hesitated. Now that the Huo Clan had been massacred by the Burning Sky Sect, the relationship between the two parties had reached an irreconcilable point. If they could obtain the protection of the Qin clan, it could be said to be a timely help.
However, there was one thing that Huo Caidie couldn't understand. She asked, "Little friend Qin Shi, with your current strength, we two old fellows won't be of much help to you."
"You're being too humble, senior. Putting aside the fact that both of you are at the Mid Cryptic Realm and that your teamwork is comparable to those at the peak of the Cryptic Realm, just your reputation and rallying power in the northern region is something I can't compare to." Qin Shi smiled politely.
In this kind of situation, the two old men looked at each other. Their hundred years of tacit understanding allowed them to read each other's thoughts without words. Zhu Shanzhi nodded and smiled as she received the four Devil Talismans.
This action had already made their positions clear.
"Then this junior will thank the two of you."
"Since little friend has already said so, if we two old farts were to refuse, it would be somewhat ignorant of the current situation." Huo Caidie smiled bitterly at the side.
Nodding with a smile, Qin Shi began to prepare for the next part of his plan. Recruiting Huo Caidie and Zhu Shanzhi naturally had his own reasons.
At this moment, Qin Xue Xin suddenly grabbed Qin Shi nervously and said, "Shi Tou, hurry up and stop Xuan Xiao. Senior Ku Deng is about to lose."
"Eh?"
The crowd couldn't help but be surprised. They raised their heads and looked at the two people fighting in the ruins. At the same time, they were confused. Ku Deng, who had turned into a black panther, had the advantage of the right time and the right place. In addition to the resentment in his heart, he was completely suppressing Xuan Xiao. How could he say that he was about to lose?
While the crowd was still confused, Qin Shi's black eyes turned cold. He stared at Xuan Xiao's palm and saw a sparkling palace floating in the air. The palace was burning with raging flames and turned into an armor, protecting Xuan Xiao's body.
Xuan Xiao angrily stood in the ruins with raging flames rising from his body. He roared, "Hmph, old fart, I think you really haven't died before. Do you really think you can fight against me with just a Devil Talisman?
You overestimate yourself! "
Bang!
The palace armor appeared and Xuan Xiao's killing intent surged. He swung his fist at the approaching Ku Deng. The seemingly heavy and sharp claws clashed with Ku Deng's and suddenly stopped in the air. Then, before the crowd could react, there was a loud bang, and Ku Deng was sent flying hundreds of meters away.
His tough skin and fur were injured by the raging flames, and dozens of deep wounds appeared on his body.
"Ku Deng!
What's with this strange power? "
Huo Caidie and Zhu Shanzhi's expressions tensed up, and they looked a little lost. A year ago, Luan Muhua was the only Heaven Realm expert in the northern region, and now, there were only a few elders from Burning Sky Sect. Because of this, even the masters of a city as powerful as the Huo family knew very little about the elemental power of the palace.
In comparison, Cen Chi, Qiu Diao, and the others who came with Qin Shi knew a little, especially Qiu Diao and the three Heaven Realm experts. Their faces darkened. "Celestial Palace?
He's only in the first heaven realm, and he dares to bring out the Celestial Palace? "
Boom!
After sending Ku Deng flying, Xuan Xiao didn't have the slightest intention of stopping. Under the boost of the Celestial Palace, both his strength and speed had increased by dozens of times. He suddenly exerted force under his feet, and the ground exploded with a bang, creating a spider-web-like crack. With a swoosh, a shadow closed in on Ku Deng's leopard body.
"Pfft, a cornered dog will do something desperate?"
Licking his dry lips, a bone-chilling light flashed in Qin Shi's eyes. His shadow flashed, and he leaped forward.
When he arrived between Xuan Xiao and Ku Deng, Qin Shi didn't rush to bring out his spiritual power, because he knew that ordinary spiritual power was useless in the face of elemental power. Therefore, he raised his fist and muttered, "Fallen Star Hegemon Body Technique!"
A glaring golden light was the first to erupt. Immediately, a dazzling golden scale armor grew between Qin Shi's fingers. The scale armor was stable and a pale-white cuticle layer began to appear on it. Looking from a distance, it appeared like a dense white bone as it faced the attack.
"Qin Shi, you're courting death!"
Xuan Xiao was overjoyed and shouted.
Boom!
When the fist and palm collided, Qin Shi snorted. This was his second time fighting against elemental power. The power of elemental power was extremely strong. Even with the defense of the Fallen Star Hegemon Body Technique, he still retreated nearly a hundred meters.
"Elemental power is indeed extraordinary. I wonder what kind of elemental power I will have when I reach the Heaven Realm."
Stabilizing his body, Qin Shi looked at Xuan Xiao's Raging Flame Armor without any fear. Instead, he looked excited.
Seeing this, Ku Deng quickly got up from the ground, "Little friend, you don't need to do anything."
"Senior, you've already won by forcing him out of the Celestial Palace. Leave the rest to me."
Shaking his head, Qin Shi didn't listen to Ku Deng this time. He knew that under the power of the Celestial Palace, even with the help of the Demon Sign, Ku Deng had no chance of winning.
"Leave it to you?"
Hearing this, Xuan Xiao laughed wildly as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, "Haha, what a joke. Since you know about the Celestial Palace, you should know what the armor on my body is, right?
You, a Cryptic Realm trash, won't be able to hurt me for the rest of your life! "
Hearing the maniacal laughter, Qin Shi quietly looked at the gap between his fingers and muttered, "Before this, there was someone who also said something like this."
Gently raising his head, he tilted his head and smiled at Xuan Xiao, "But do you know what happened to him?"
"Hm?" Xuan Xiao was stunned, "What was it?"
"He …" The corners of his lips parted, and Qin Shi's body suddenly leaned forward. In the next instant, he dashed to within half a meter of Xuan Xiao like a bolt of lightning. Suddenly, he smiled evilly, "Dead!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dark purple ghost fire suddenly rose between his index and middle fingers and pierced towards Xuan Xiao's chest.
Whoosh!
Under the pressure of the sharp fingertips, Xuan Xiao indifferently tensed up, but in the next moment, he suddenly laughed disdainfully, "Haha, you want to attack me?
I already said, with your Cryptic Realm strength, don't even think about … "
But before he could finish speaking, he suddenly stopped.
Boom!
A ferocious force pierced through Xuan Xiao's chest. The Raging Flame Armor, which had terrified everyone, suddenly shattered in the fire.
"How, how is this possible?
How could you hurt me? "
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Xuan Xiao knelt on the ground and stared at Qin Shi's fingertips in disbelief. Feeling the power from the dark fire above him, he couldn't help but tremble, "This, this is mental energy?"
"Haha, you guessed it right. Too bad there's no prize."
Qin Shi smiled and then said, "Let me give you a hint. Be careful in your next life. Sometimes, a cornered dog will jump over a wall. If you can't jump over, you will fall miserably."
The whole process was silent. Only when Xuan Xiao died did the crowd at the side gulp, especially Huo Caidie and Zhushan Qing. They were shocked. A Heavenly Realm Cultivator, a peak existence in the northern region, couldn't even withstand one attack from Qin Shi?
What did this mean?
Turning around, Qin Shi didn't think much of it. The reason why he could easily kill Xuan Xiao was because of his carelessness. Moreover, he was going to slaughter the entire Fen Sky Sect and kill Luan Muhua. Why would he kill a small fry like this??
Mechanical Rank Moon?
Cen Chi and the others went forward and helped Ku Deng up. An hour had passed, and the effect of the Demonic Talisman had worn off. Ku Deng returned to his old, weary state.
Qin Shi wasn't surprised at Ku Deng's weary state. After all, he couldn't kill Xuan Xiao with his own hands. He patted Ku Deng's frail shoulder and said, "Senior, don't think too much. There will be more opportunities in the future."
Ku Deng shook his head helplessly and said, "Hmm. What do you plan to do next?"
Looking around, Skylight City was now an empty city. It was even more miserable than Rainbow Cloud City. Smoke filled the air, and the smell of blood was thick.
After thinking for a while, Qin Shi said, "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Senior Ku Deng, Caidie, and Zhushan Zhi for the next plan."
"What request do you have? Just tell me."
As the saying goes, one's hands are tied. Moreover, Qin Shi's performance just now had thoroughly shocked Huo Caidie and Huo Caidie, so they readily agreed.
Nodding his head, Qin Shi sternly said, "I think we should split our forces into three groups and attack the remaining three first rank cities."
"Three groups?"
